Using List of Values

In IFS Cloud Web pages, Lists of Values (LOVs) are drop down menus which offer a list of options where you can select a value for the input field. This list can either be set in advance by the system administrator, generated from data in a database column, or you may even have the option to type in new values.

LOV: You can only select a value from the drop down menu. If you try to select a value that does not included in the provided list, you will get the following error message :

Features of LOV

Label	Name	Description
A	Value Field	Type a valid value or any value (depending on the type of LOV) into this field. As you input a value, the data displayed in the Value List (D) will automatically filter to show you the most relevant result. If the value you enter in the Value Field doesn't match any of the options in the List of Values, you will receive a prompt saying "No valid matches."
B	Find	Click on the Find button to access LOV filter section. This section shows all the values within the list, and you can filter the desired value or perform any action shown in Filter Search Pane section.

D	Value List	The Value List will only show a limited number of input values initially, certain Value Lists have a scroll bar on the left, allowing you to scroll down and choose the specific input you require. When you enter a value into the Value Field (A), displayed values in the Value List will get filtered and display the values that matches your search criteria. Note: System administrator decides: Number of values to be shown initially in the value list. Whether Value List is scroll-able or not.

Timezone Supported Date/Time fields Within LOV Tiles

When a date/time fields within the LOV tile is timezone supported, a timezone badge will be displayed next to the date/time field. This badge indicates the timezone from which the date/time value is being recorded.

If you access the advanced LOV, a timezone badge will appear next to each date/time field, similar to the display in tables. Hovering over the timezone badge will show a tool-tip with additional timezone-related information. Clicking the timezone badge will open an information card containing further details. The content shown in both the tool-tip and the information card is determined by the administrator.
